1. A method for implanting an implant device, comprising:
bringing about an opened state of a closure device to release a restoring force by at least one actuation of an actuation device coupled to the closure device, the closure device being coupled to an implantation device;
punching a lumen by the implant device coupled to the implantation device by effectuating a forward motion of the implantation device;
executing a return motion of the implantation device by at least one actuation of the actuation device; and
implanting the implant device into the lumen after punching the lumen;
wherein punching the lumen comprises punching a hole in the lumen with a cutting edge of the implant device.
